Chapter 20 Melting
The morning sun was warm on the body, but the temperature inside the car seemed to have lost its due temperature.The past is like the old grinding discs in the life video store, each segment has a unique color.
That period of the past was undoubtedly Lu Xiumu's dark time, and even Gao Xin couldn't add bright colors to it.
An agent is a unique existence for an artist. In addition to arranging work reasonably, it is also a housekeeper in charge of the artist's life.But too many trivial matters made him ignore some details, for example——Lu Xiumu never lived in the dormitory arranged by the company, and sometimes he would advance his salary at the beginning of the month.
Due to the low prevalence of pheromone disorders, Lu Xiumu did not know that his father was suffering from the disease.But after getting along with his irritable father a lot, he also developed a "treatment" method-he can guide his father to a stable state by releasing pheromones.
This made Lu Xiumu breathe a sigh of relief to a large extent, but it also added other worries.When a neighbor asks "Why haven't you seen your dad go out for a long time", or a trainee at the same time asks him "Why do you have Alpha pheromone in your body", he will make up a bunch of lies to block their questions.
When people look at the exchange of pheromones with colored glasses, even if it is a correct thing, it will be distorted into immoral swearing.
Lu Xiumu is like a little mouse hiding in the dark, carefully avoiding the attention of others.But if you walk on the wire for a long time, sooner or later you will fall off.
One afternoon, Lu Xiumu received a call from the police station. From the other party's cold statement, he pieced together a fact that he didn't want to believe the most - Lu's father's pheromone suddenly erupted, and he injured several people in a row out of control.
Lu Xiumu didn't even have time to ask for leave, so he skipped the dance class arranged by the company and hurried to the police station.Along the way, I was still thinking about how much bail money would be needed to take my father home, but was told that my father was receiving treatment in the hospital at this time.
Then Lu Xiumu ran to the hospital in a daze, at this time he was like a marionette pulled by fate.
Panicked and at a loss, he could only quietly wait for the belated "judgment".
"We injected the patient with sedatives." The doctor flipped through the case, "Do you know that he suffers from pheromone disorder?"
Lu Xiumu didn't seem to understand these simple words: "Patient? Disorder?"
On the contrary, the doctor is not surprised by this situation: "This kind of disease mostly occurs in the Alpha population. It is caused by emotional fluctuations during the sensitive period and has not been appeased in time. It can be cured very well in the early stage."
Lu Xiumu was keenly aware of the word "early stage", and quickly asked, "Then my dad?"
"His condition is serious, and I recommend a glandectomy as soon as possible."
Lu Xiumu was completely stunned.The glands play a protective role for the human body, not to mention the high risk of surgery, but the complications such as the decline in the immune system after the excision will have a great impact on Lu's father's physical condition afterward.
However, the sense of desperation is still increasing, and the doctor said: "According to the patient's report, someone guided him with pheromones. Do you know the specific situation?"
Lu Xiumu: "...It should be me."
The doctor frowned instantly: "Aren't you the biological father and son?"
"Yes..." Lu Xiumu considered his words, "After my parents divorced, he never remarried. And my pheromone is very similar to my mother's, so—"
There was a "pop", interrupting his subsequent words.
The doctor slammed the case on the table angrily: "I said that the government should strengthen the popularization of physiological knowledge! What age is it, and even talking about pheromones is something that cannot be put on the table!"
This sentence is more like a complaint about the social environment, but Lu Xiumu panicked for no reason: "Yes... is there any problem?"
The doctor looked at him sadly: "Pheromone is like blood, and there is no direct exchange between parents and children. On the surface, your guidance is soothing the patient, but in fact it is changing the direction to aggravate his condition."
For a moment, Lu Xiumu's mind was empty.
"Ignorance" made his years of "effort" come to naught, and all his insistence became ridiculous, so he didn't know who to blame for a while.
The tragedy of the Lu family began with the forced marriage policy, but he was unable to accuse the government of dereliction of duty under the basic national conditions of a sharp drop in the birth rate.
They are but the saddest individuals among the products of the changing times.
It was a few months after Gao Xin learned the news. Due to his agent's negligence and guilt, he brought high-priced skin care products to the hospital to visit Father Lu.
That was the first and only time he saw Lu Xiumu's father.
The once handsome man was so tortured by the disease that he couldn't see his face. There was a heavy bandage on the back of his neck, and he was pressed on the bed by three or five medical staff.
"Why have my glands removed!" He stared at Lu Xiumu, his roar resounded throughout the corridor, "You and your mother are of the same virtue, you are sorry for me!"
Lu Xiumu stood calmly in front of the doctor as if he couldn't hear it.
"Your father's situation..." The doctor was very embarrassed. "After all, there are other patients in the hospital. You should go through the discharge procedures for him as soon as possible."
"Sorry." Lu Xiumu said, "I have already contacted the nursing home, and I can be transferred this afternoon."
"Lu Xiumu! You are still not human!" Lu's father was crazy and wanted to break free from the nurse's confinement, "The nursing home is not a place for people to stay at all, they will only lock me up! I am your father, how can you treat me like this? !"
Years of paranoid thoughts have destroyed a person's basic thinking. Lu Xiumu doesn't blame him for his bad words. He even feels that he has no right to blame his father.
Lu Xiumu turned his head to look at his father, and even smiled at him: "Dad, it's time to take medicine."
The trembling voice that was extremely restrained made Lu Xiumu show a calmness that did not match his age. Gao Xin felt uncomfortable when he heard it, so he raised his hand and knocked on the door of the ward: "Xiu Mu——"
Everyone's eyes followed the sound, but Father Lu took advantage of this gap and jumped out of bed.Afterwards, the fruits and soups on the table landed on Lu Xiumu accurately one after another.
There was chaos and chaos.
After the farce ended, Lu Xiumu sent Gao Xin away.He not only apologized to Gao Xin, but also euphemistically asked for a few days off.
"You don't need..." Gao Xin didn't know what to say to comfort him, and finally his voice turned around: "It's okay, just talk if you need it."
Lu Xiumu's footsteps paused for a moment: "Brother, didn't you say that there was a school web drama that lacked a male lead, so I took it."
"If you switch careers to acting, then your group will be disbanded..." Gao Xin tried not to hurt anyone so much, "You also know that the other children are not as popular as you, if you leave again, I'm afraid they- —”
Just like the reason why Lu Xiumu entered this industry, he still said at this time: "I am short of money. The cost of a day in a nursing home is not low."
"Okay..." Gao Xin sighed, "I'll go back and talk to them."
"No need." Lu Xiumu said, "I'm sorry for the captain and the others, and I should apologize in person."
"..."
Gao Xin didn't even know what words to use to accurately describe his mood. He knew before that Lu Xiumu was gentle.But now, the only edges and corners on his body have been smoothed away.
It is said that a person's experience affects his character, and Gao Xin didn't know whether this change was good or bad.He could understand Lu Xiumu, because his "mistake" caused his father to be in a desperate situation, and he would inevitably feel a huge sense of guilt in his heart.He wishes he could fill the void in his heart by being more perfect at other things.
This is why Lu Xiumu joined the pheromone medical team without authorization, and Gao Xin could not object.
He can't force Lu Xiumu to let go of the burden on him, and he can't talk to him like a bystander; your father is not good to you, why do you have to torture yourself?
He also understands better that Lu Xiumu's behavior of helping strangers is a kind of emotional transfer - fantasizing himself as a "savior", and then helping others to alleviate his "sin".
It's a ridiculous behavior, but it's also the only way for Lu Xiumu to redeem himself.
……
Thinking of this, Gao Xin made a joke: "Fortunately, I didn't stop you from becoming a volunteer. Otherwise, let alone auditioning for Director Jiang's role, I'm afraid I would have to accompany you to see a psychiatrist right now."
Lu Xiumu also smiled: "This is also the most fortunate thing for me."
Gao Xin heard what he meant, and said hesitantly, "You don't think of Brother D, do you..."
"I did think of it."
Gao Xin slapped his forehead and sighed: "Why didn't I realize that you are so in love with your brain before?"
Lu Xiumu was not angry when he was scolded, at least in the initial stage of acquaintance with Dandelion, he never ignored Nie Yao's "warning" and fell in love with a patient he had never met.
The transition occurs after the first phase of soothing therapy.
"Thank you for the time." Dandelion said, "After this course of treatment, my pheromones have stabilized a lot. At least I don't need to wear a bite stopper anymore."
"Great." Lu Xiumu was sincerely happy. "When will the next stage start? I'll spare time in advance. Should we increase the frequency of treatment? This way you should get better faster."
Dandelion paused for a few seconds before saying: "I always feel that you are looking forward to a quick recovery more than I am. It seems that I am cured. What sense of accomplishment can you get from it?"
Lu Xiumu was startled suddenly, the other party's unintentional words accurately pierced his heart, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.
Dandelion didn't hear his voice, and laughed to himself: "Don't mind, I'm just chatting casually. I don't know why you volunteer in this area. After all, the project is very small, and no one knows about it. A lot. Maybe someone close to you is also suffering from this disease, or maybe it's your interest, but in any case, I hope you don't feel pressured."
His words were completely unreasonable, and it was very rare for the patient to take the initiative to comfort the rescuers, as if the identities of the two had been reversed at this moment.
Lu Xiumu: "I..."
"You feel like a fully charged string to me." Dandelion's voice was very soft, "If you can't cure me, you will also be broken."
Lu Xiumu: "..."
"I don't want you to put your spirit on me, or in other words, as your patient, I am very opposed to this approach." Dandelion paused, "A niche photographer in Scotland made an interesting point called' "Wrong shooting" roughly means that the wrong shooting methods such as false glue, misalignment, and poor halo can still produce objective and reasonable works. Facts have proved that his shooting methods have also become some of the current The correct operation in a specific scenario."
"I think this theory is also applicable to medicine." Dandelion laughed, "Disorders are currently a kind of 'wrong' disease, because people don't know much about it, there will always be someone who pays for it. The price may be me or someone else, but this is the most 'correct' natural process."
Lu Xiumu lowered his eyes and repeated his words softly: "The correct natural process..."
"Maybe when I look back at this experience many years later, I will find that I am the most ordinary person suffering from the most ordinary disease, and you are the most ordinary rescuer." Dandelion said, "We are here to exchange Pheromone itself has no special meaning, you don't have to add words like 'great', 'self-moving', 'relief' to it."
"Not everyone expects you to do your best to do this well." Dandelion paused for a moment, then said, "At least I won't."
The responsibility and guilt towards Lu's father are like layers of masks. Lu Xiumu is trapped in the cramped and dark inner space. Although he can't breathe smoothly, he can always survive.
Now suddenly someone lifted a corner of the confined space inadvertently, and Lu Xiumu realized that taking that step to breathe fresh air again seemed not as difficult as he had imagined...
That period of the past was undoubtedly Lu Xiumu's dark time, and even Gao Xin couldn't add bright colors to it.
An agent is a unique existence for an artist. In addition to arranging work reasonably, it is also a housekeeper in charge of the artist's life.But too many trivial matters made him ignore some details, for example——Lu Xiumu never lived in the dormitory arranged by the company, and sometimes he would advance his salary at the beginning of the month.
